The Arts and Humanities Department
The Department of Arts and Humanities was established on 23rd September 2013. It has diverse academics, students and staff from across all of our related subjects. Babcock University Secondary School’s reputation for excellence in the Arts and Humanities Department rests upon the outstanding teaching and world-class teachers employed by the school administration.
The Department helps to enlighten students who are leading authorities in their fields and also helps them in research projects in order to enlighten their knowledge after secondary school. We help our students to learn different ways in which human cultures and their multiple forms of expression have developed historically and continually.
Arts and Humanities are academic disciplines that study aspects of human culture. Today the Humanities Department is more frequently contrasted with natural and sometimes social sciences as well as professional training. The department uses methods that are primarily critical or speculative and have a significant historical element. Here we encourage our students to read because READERS ARE LEADERS.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT
- To help students establish the basis for independent judgment and critical awareness.
- To familiarize students with library and internet information sources available as lifelong learning tools.
- To produce students who have a well-informed literary sensibility that enables them to respond in a creative manner to their environment.

- To graduate students with a firm grasp of the Nigerian political system and other political systems within the context of global forces, international conflicts, social movements, ideological system, and cultural diversity.
- Students must attain writing proficiency and the ability to engage in independent research.
- Students will formulate, sustain, and justify a historical argument using original ideas.
